Chapter 42 Calvary
The knife wound on his shoulder was continuously oozing with black blood.He Xiaoqiao couldn't help feeling a little anxious.When Huamei Lin Daokou broke up, Murong only hurriedly dropped a word, saying that his senior sister Ruyi lived in Qingshui Town, opened a single-story pharmacy, and knew how to cure all kinds of poisons.But in this small town, she has been turned to the west of the sun, but no one knows what a single-story pharmacy is.
"Forget it, forget it," Xiaoqiao felt that the wound was getting more and more painful, as if it was burning, and he could hardly restrain himself, "Just find a doctor and find out about Ruyi's whereabouts. I don't know who is in this remote town Doctor, is there anything good?"
While drinking the noodle soup, she asked the shop waiter about it.
"Why didn't you?" Xiao Er's chatterbox was suddenly opened, "Girl, you just came here. Who doesn't know Dr. Lin from Silver Street, Qingshui Town, he is a living god! You just need to ask. Well, in our town alone, there are twenty or thirty children named Nianlin and Jinglin!"
Xiao Qiao was suspicious, Xiao Er continued: "Doctor Lin's medical skills are really amazing. Sitting behind the curtain, just stretch out three fingers to touch it, and it will be clear immediately, and the disease will be cured..."
"From behind the curtain?" He Xiaoqiao sounded suspicious.
An old man next to her said: "She is a girl, and she is somewhat self-confident."
"It's a girl?" Xiaoqiao was both surprised and delighted, "Then her boudoir name, isn't it Ruyi?"
"Well, I don't know." Xiao Er couldn't say anything.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, He Xiaoqiao hurried to Silver Street following Xiao Er's instructions.It was dusk, but there was a plaque hanging on the door of the pharmacy, but there was no word on it.She hesitated for a while, but still knocked on the door knocker. The one who came out to open the door was a little servant in black clothes, with eyes hidden behind the veil, he scanned the small bridge once.However, without saying a word, he floated up and led the small bridge into the front hall.The front hall is dark and unclear, with the fragrance of white plums floating.But this fragrance is not so pure, it seems to cover up something.Xiaoqiao's hand unconsciously clasped the hilt of the sword. "Is Doctor Lin at home?" Xiaoqiao asked in a low voice. "Yes." The waiter's voice was not very cold.She turned and opened a huge cabinet, looking for something. Xiaoqiao stood on the ground, not knowing where to put his siblings. "Take off your clothes quickly." Xiaoqiao was stunned, and saw that the waiter was holding a plate of shiny things in his hand. "You suffered from the Wujin saber of Blood Swallow Wang Jingtang. Although the poison on his saber may not kill you immediately, if you don't remove it, it will take a long time, and you will suffer for a lifetime." Xiaoqiao suddenly realized that this thin little girl was the legendary Doctor Lin.
Lin Ruyi gave He Xiaoqiao a dose of antidote, and then asked, "Are you afraid?" Xiaoqiao didn't understand what she was talking about, but she was very relieved in front of this genius doctor, and said, "Don't be afraid!" Lin Ruyi seemed to sneer behind the veil. The wound was not deep.Lin Ruyi pricked a few needles on the spine, and Xiaoqiao found that her shoulder was gradually losing consciousness. Lin Ruyi opened a small blue-and-white porcelain vase with grape twigs, and a strong aroma of wine diffused in the darkness.She moistened a piece of white silk with wine and wiped it around the wound.Change a piece, wipe it again, and slowly change it three times.Xiaoqiao sniffed the aroma of the medicinal wine and felt a little dizzy.She didn't feel any pain, Lin Ruyi quickly cleaned up the wound, and black blood came out. Xiaoqiao watched curiously as his blood flowed out, which turned from black to red in a short while, knowing that the remaining poison on his body had been pulled out, he was secretly happy. scoff An oil lamp was lit, making the small hall even darker.Xiaoqiao saw Lin Ruyi pick up a thin short thread from the plate, and with the other hand holding the orchid finger, it was a crystal needle—if it was a needle.Because Lin Ruyi was clearly sewing the eye of the needle with the light, but the needle was unusual, it was curved, like a crescent moon. Xiaoqiao stared blankly, Lin Ruyi finished the needle, and stabbed steadily at Xiaoqiao's suet-like skin. "what--" Although he didn't feel any pain, Xiaoqiao still let out a cry. However, Lin Ruyi's Crescent Needle has passed through the skin on both sides of the wound briskly, bringing a black line.I don't see how her fingers picked up the black thread twice, and then tied a neat square knot, neither loose nor tight. "If you don't sew your skin shut, the wound will heal." Lin Ruyi said lightly, "After seven days, when the wound is closed, I will remove the thread for you, without leaving any traces." It was sewn up in a blink of an eye, and the three sides were wiped with medicinal wine.Xiaoqiao stared at the black centipede-like centipede on his shoulder, his mind was in a daze, and he said unconsciously, "Senior Sister Ruyi..." Lin Ruyi was already cleaning up her needlework, and she was surprised when she heard this.It turned out that her nickname was only known by her family members. "Who are you?" She held a crescent needle tightly. "I'm Murong's..." Xiaoqiao blushed, and said again, "My name is He Xiaoqiao, and it was Murong who asked me to seek medical attention from my senior sister." "Oh..." Lin Ruyi's voice suddenly became hazy and distant.She slowly removed the black veil. Only then did Xiaoqiao see her face.Ruyi is just very thin, but not as young as she thought.To be exact, there is no age at all.She was bloodless, her face was almost transparent, and she could see the blue veins sliding underneath, and even the white bones were faintly exposed.On the jagged face, a pair of exaggeratedly large eyes, with a bunch of wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, vaguely traced the traces of the beauty of the past. Xiaoqiao suddenly felt sad. "What about Murong himself? It's time to take medicine, why doesn't he come back." In the middle of the night, people are quiet and crows cry. He Xiaoqiao hugged the thin quilt, and chatted with Lin Ruyi casually. In this small back room, the aroma of white plums is even more bleak.Xiaoqiao already understood that the lingering smell in Lin Ruyi's house was the smell of wine.The senior sister sews skins for others, and I don't know how much medicinal wine has been stored!However, even if it is medicinal wine, there are some other flavors mixed in, what is it? In the distance, Lin Ruyi was sitting under a small oil lamp with a crescent needle on her finger.She was embroidering a dress, which she said was a leather coat for Murong.Senior sister is working hard.Xiaoqiao looked at her thin and dark figure, which was not much more real than a shadow on the wall.All kinds of embroidered works hang on the surrounding walls, landscapes, pavilions, flowers, birds, fish and insects, which look lifelike under the dim lights.The senior sister's needlework is also extraordinary.Xiaoqiao admires Ruyi more and more.It's just that these embroideries are all black and white, and the fabric is also very yellow.strangeness! While looking at the painting, he told Lin Ruyi about Murong's brilliant achievements.How to defeat the masters of the Thirty-Six Sects in the Sword Trial Villa and become the number one sword in the world.Murong is only twenty-six years old this year, his appearance brightened the eyes of the Central Plains martial arts that had been depressed for more than ten years. What is even more powerful is Murong's martial arts, which penetrates all schools and schools.Xiaoqiao was born in a famous family in Hanyang, so she has a lot of knowledge, and she has some wonderful tricks, even she can't explain them clearly.Seeing her high spirits, Lin Ruyi didn't interrupt her.When she finished speaking, Fang helped her complete everything. "Senior Sister, you are amazing. It's as if you saw it with your own eyes!" Xiaoqiao exclaimed. Lin Ruyi smiled lightly.When she smiled, a red tide would flash across her face, as if blood was about to gush out, which was shocking. "That's right. Murong, you watched him grow up, right?" Xiaoqiao said to himself, "Of course you know his three moves and two styles." Is it more than clear?Ruyi said: "Do you know why I call him Murong? Because he possesses the superb martial arts of thirteen famous schools in the world, and no one can match him. In the Song Dynasty, there was a family of Murong who could return the same way to others. It is said that Because they know all the martial arts in the world. When Murong was born, I thought he was like this too. So, I called him Murong." In front of Xiaoqiao, Murong Yushu's face floated in front of the wind, and he said unconsciously: "And the young masters of the Murong family in the legend are also young masters Pian Pianjia. Sister, you said that Murong is invincible in the world, is it true? He can really Will it always be number one in the world?" Ruyi didn't answer, and twisted the bright crescent needle. "Senior Sister, you just said you were taking medicine." Xiaoqiao thought about it, and became worried again. "How come I've never heard of him. He, is he sick?" Ruyi said: "He is in poor health and needs to take medicine once a year. He—" She glanced at Xiaoqiao thoughtfully, "So I didn't tell you." No way?Murong is always so energetic, is he in poor health?Xiaoqiao didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to ask.Suddenly remembered something, said: "Indeed - when I broke up with him, he said he had a little fever." "Already have a fever?" Lin Ruyi shuddered, and the flying needle stopped, and said immediately, "If you don't come back, you will be in trouble." "What?" Xiaoqiao said guiltily. "It's getting late, go to sleep!" Ruyi's voice became stiff.
When he woke up, Lin Ruyi was not in the room.Xiaoqiao got up and looked curiously at the clothes Ruyi sewed for Murong.If you don't look at it, you will almost faint. That leather jacket, tough and smoky, exuded a strange smell of alcohol. It was originally cut from a whole piece of human skin, washed and peeled clean.And those mandarin ducks and lotus flowers embroidered on the crescent needle are clearly human hair. Xiaoqiao threw the leather jacket on the ground and fled back.Unexpectedly, when he bumped his head against the wall, it was soft.Opening his eyes, he saw that it was a piece of Lin Ruyi's embroidery.The sunlight came in through the window sills, making the room look so bright for the first time.The hair embroidery on the exquisitely cut human skin is black and white, and it is also very vivid and clear. Xiaoqiao groaned and rushed to the door.The door was locked from the outside.She gritted her teeth and bumped, only to realize that she had no strength at all.Pulling back the sleeves, she saw that there were crescent needles nailed to the joints, preventing her from moving any strength.Xiaoqiao bit the noses of the needles with his teeth, and then he understood why Lin Ruyi's needles were in this shape.It was impossible to pull it out, and the slightest twitch would cause excruciating pain. "Senior Sister, Senior Sister!" She rushed to the door and hissed loudly. "Don't yell, I don't want to do anything to you." Ruyi's voice came through the crack of the window. "It's just that Murong cares about you very much, doesn't he?" Does Murong care about her?have no idea.There was a void in Xiaoqiao's heart. Ruyi continued: "Murong refused to come back to eat Tripterygium vine because of you. Do you know that he was raised by Tripterygium vine, and he would die if he didn't eat it. But I will never let him die. Detain you, He'll be back to see me. I hope he's quick." Tripterygium, what is that?Xiaoqiao searched in his chaotic mind.It seems that I heard an experienced Jianghu sister say in private before that it is a kind of "extinct" medicine.Thinking of this, Xiaoqiao blushed.Lin Ru unexpectedly appeared weak and weak, she never thought that she would be so vicious towards her junior brother. Murong, Murong, do I expect you to come, or do I expect you not to come. The crisp yellow window paper turns white and black, black and white again. He Xiaoqiao didn't count the days.How long will it take to be locked in a room filled with a strange smell of alcohol, and the walls are clearly covered with dead skin.Lin Ruyi's cooking skills are good, and the daily side dishes are exquisite and delicious, never repeating the same.But Xiaoqiao couldn't eat it.There is a lady with a round fan in imitation of Tang Dynasty hanging beside her bed.The fluttering fairy sleeves are the flowery smile of the dead, the plaited white teeth are the pale hair of the dead, and Dankou's cherry lips are the dark red blood of the dead. It was the slender hand attached to the crescent needle that cooked for her, and she could eat it!In fact, she hadn't been locked up for a few days, but she had already collapsed.I always thought that I have been walking the rivers and lakes with Murong for several years, and I can endure hardships.Unexpectedly, in her bones, she was still the pampered young lady of the He family in Hanyang. The ivory moonlight shines on those magnificent embroidery.Lin Ruyi turned out to be not a human being.
click.The window panes rattled. Xiaoqiao burst into tears.Murong is here. That young and heroic knight-errant was clearly in front of his eyes. "I know all about it, so I came to see you first." Murong stroked her hair, "I'll go find Senior Sister right now." "But," Xiaoqiao murmured, "she gave you medicine..." The expression on Murong's face froze for a moment.As we get along day by day, Xiaoqiao knows Murong well.Tripterygium vine, he had already known it.Xiaoqiao suddenly had a strange idea in his heart. He knew it clearly, but never told me. "Xiaoqiao, my senior sister, she has been lonely all her life, except for her master who died early, and me, she has no friends or relatives." Murong's voice seemed a little difficult, and he couldn't express his words.Anyone who talks about such a problem will inevitably fail to express his meaning. "I guess she wants to keep me forever, so, so..." Xiaoqiao glanced at Murong resentfully, seeing that his face was also flushed.A few days ago, he developed a low-grade fever, which has not subsided. Murong gritted his teeth, and said resolutely: "But Xiaoqiao, because of you, I decided not to be controlled by her anymore. What kind of Tripterygium vine, all, go to hell! I'll ask my senior sister to get it. Antidote." Xiaoqiao's eyes were burning: "Will she give it to you? Lin Ruyi is not a simple person." The corner of Murong's mouth twitched: "I have my own way."
Bailian Mountain outside Qingshui Town has always been a place where deer come and go.But in the past few years, the mountain people can hardly see the sika deer jumping in the mountains and forests.It is said that when someone entered the mountain at night, he saw a bone spirit flying over the cliff, and trapped deer one by one.Although it is nonsense, everyone just listens to it. Murong is very clear.He pressed his waist, and the small paper bag was still there. There is an ancestral hall behind the house, and the rafters are rotten over time.Murong knew that although Lin Ruyi had a bedroom, she never slept in it.This ancestral hall, which is covered with white curtains all year round, is her real shelter, and it is always filled with the unspeakable aroma of wine. Lin Ruyi leaned at the foot of the candlestick, sleeping deeply.Murong stared at her face, blue blood was slowly beating under the glazed skin.In a black silver bowl on the table, the agate-like deer blood is about to congeal.Murong hesitated for a while, then took out the small paper bag, shook the white fish powder onto the deer blood like salt, and gradually melted.This kind of medicine can make people's blood coagulate within an hour, but if it is sprinkled on the coagulated deer blood, it won't be noticeable - as long as the senior sister doesn't care.He begged for this packet of fish essence powder from the medicine demon Shen Bin.Being the number one sword in the world is not necessarily flattering to everyone.The price of fish essence powder is Xiaoxiang Shenjian's life, and the matter is handled so smoothly that even Xiaoqiao doesn't know about it. Ruyi's eyelids seemed to twitch, and Murong was startled. Her breath is still calm. It was almost dawn, and I wondered if Xiaoqiao was anxiously waiting, so I had to teach her to wait.Murong lit a stick of incense and silently knelt before the spirit of his master.
He seemed to be awakened by the chill of the crescent needle, and the muscles on his back twitched violently. "Don't move, tie you carefully." Senior sister's voice was still so gentle. She is sewing clothes for him.Yesterday he jumped over the courtyard wall to find He Xiaoqiao, but the juniper branch broke his back.Like so many times before, Lin Ruyi sewed his clothes with her needles.Murong saw that Ruyi's sparse, long hair that fell to the ground slid over her shoulders, yellow and yellow, fluttering in front of her eyes.His heart moved, he looked back at his senior sister, only to see that the bright red glaring deer blood on her lips had not been wiped off. His complexion became even more frightening, with a gloomy air, but the corner of his mouth was still smiling. Murong didn't dare to look at her closely, and when she had pulled off the thread, he turned around and said, "Senior Sister..." "Wait, Junior Brother, today is the 21st anniversary of Master's death. I'm glad you came back. Let's pay homage to Master first, and then gossip." Lin Ruyi said calmly. Today is Master's death day?Murong never knew.He only knew that this day was the day he came back every year to take Tripterygium wilfordii.And this year, he will ask his senior sister for an antidote.Lin Ruyi inserted the crescent needle into her sleeve, brought out fruit incense candles, and laid them out one by one. Paper money with stars burning in the brazier. Murong had no choice but to kneel down again. That wooden niche contains the body of Master, right?The white curtain dangled.In fact, Murong had never seen Master's face.When his memory began, the master had already died.It was Master's eldest disciple Lin Ruyi who took care of him and spent the first years of his life in this small pharmacy.It stands to reason that he should call Ruyi his master.But Ruyi only asked him to be called Senior Sister. Is there a reason?She didn't say anything, or said vaguely, because she didn't teach his martial arts.So who taught it? He didn't know that all his memories of before he was an adult were blank.All I know is that from the very beginning, he possessed the best physical skills in the world, one yang finger, shadowless legs, Lingbo microsteps, cloud hands... miraculously proficient in all of them.He thought that everyone didn't know his past, but when he walked into the rivers and lakes, he realized that it is a very painful thing to be a river without a source and a tree without its roots.Fortunately, he has excellent martial arts skills.Now he has finally achieved the overlord, and there is Xiaoqiao. But Senior Sister, a pale and weak woman, controlled his "past" and everything about him.He suspected that she had some ulterior secret, she had brainwashed him.Taking advantage of today's opportunity, he must go back to his past. "Senior Sister..." "I haven't told you the story of Master." Lin Ruyi interrupted him again, as if she had read his mind, and sneered slightly, "Now that you have become number one in the world, and you are promising, I should tell you. " Murong pricked up his ears. Lin Ruyi didn't say anything, she was just in a daze.After a long time, Fang sighed to himself: "What is the best sword in the world, there is no hero at that time, making Zhuzi famous!" "Our master Lin Zui is a well-known good doctor in Qingshui Town. You may have heard it from the neighbors. However, this is only his identity in the last ten years of his life. Before that, as Emperor Xuanyi, he once Unified the martial arts of the Central Plains and dominated for more than ten years." Emperor Xuanyi, is he his master?Murong couldn't help but get excited.That was the bloodiest one among the legendary heroes of the previous era.In the bleak martial arts nowadays, people still talk about his legends.As soon as Murong came out of the rivers and lakes, he heard a lot.His astonishment is admirable, and his failure and retirement is more like an insoluble mystery.It is said that in the final battle of Tiandu Peak, Xuanyi Tiandi finally lost to a martial arts rookie, and had to give up his position and leave quietly.No one has seen him since then. Less than ten years after the Emperor of Heaven abdicated, the thirteen sects under his protection all suffered disasters.The number one expert in each sect, like Wudang's senior Linfeng Daoist, Tiejianmen's master Miaohui Shenni, Yongxin Gang's elder Hong Douer, Duan's young master Yi... one after another, inexplicably He disappeared, and his disciples searched everywhere, but to no avail.At first everyone was talking about it, but now it has been more than 20 years, most of these people are dead. It's just that after this catastrophe, the vitality of the martial arts in the Central Plains was severely damaged, and it no longer regained the glorious atmosphere of the era of the Emperor of Heaven. "You may not have imagined that all those people died at the hands of Master." Lin Ruyi said lightly. Murong was startled, but immediately understood: "The winner is the king who loses the bandit. When the Emperor of Heaven was in the position, everyone flattered him. Once he was defeated by a newcomer and stepped back, he would be defeated by the former followers as quickly as possible. The Heavenly Emperor has seen through the fickleness of the world, so he wants to take revenge. Although the Xuanyi Heavenly Emperor missed in Tiandu Peak for a while, it is no problem to deal with these Xiao Xiao." "Junior brother, you didn't practice in the rivers and lakes for nothing!" Lin Ruyi nodded and said, "But you are only half right. For this alone, the master will not kill them, but will lock them in the cellar and slow down." Slow torment, but still have to flatter the horse like before, and try harder to please the master. However, since the medicine demon Shen Bin gave the master a medical book, the master changed his mind." Hearing the name Shen Bin, Murong's heart trembled. "Master did a lot of research on medicine in his early years. He found a technique mentioned in Yaomo's book. Through this technique, even a person with no foundation can quickly master a superb martial art. Master learned from the Overlord's He was not reconciled to stepping back from his seat. He thought about making a comeback every day. As soon as he saw it, he immediately started to study this technology." "What kind of technology is that?" Murong asked impatiently. The draft came in, and the curtain fluttered.The chaotic smell of alcohol in the ancestral hall was suddenly stirred up. "Junior Brother, do you want to see Master's remains?" Murong didn't answer. Lin Ruyi pulled down the curtain on the niche. It was just a half-person-high crystal bottle, a pile of bits and pieces of bones and red meat, soaked in a yellowish liquid.A piece of arm, a finger, and a piece of thigh, it seems that a lot of thought was spent when they were cut off at the beginning, but they were soaked here in a mess later.Murong watched for a long time, only to realize that the head and body were missing. "This is..." Although Murong was not afraid, seeing such a "Master", after all, he felt a little sick to his stomach, "Legacy?" "The remains are here." Lin Ruyi pulled him to the back of the crystal bottle, and he saw a human face tightly attached to the wall of the bottle, like a piece of moss.His face was stretched and twisted, and his expression was very funny. "Senior Sister..." Murong didn't know what to say. "If you want to see the whole thing, come with me." Lin Ruyi smiled and pushed the crystal bottle away, revealing a black wooden cover under the bottle, and a narrow passage stretched obliquely under the cover. There really is a cellar here!
The air in the cellar is fine, but the smell of wine gets stronger the further you go down.Murong could already clearly tell that what the aroma of the wine couldn't cover was the rotten smell of dead corpses, which came down from his throat and smoldered in his chest. After a while, the source of the smell appeared.A huge wine urn, not deep, but very wide, more like a pool.There are some figures in the pool sinking and floating. Lin Ruyi picked up a Zhang Zhang bamboo pole and slowly moved it in the wine urn. "Of course, these are still missing arms and legs. Like this one," she pulled an old corpse with a hunched back in front of her, "the right arm is missing. This is the Taoist Master Linfeng of Wudang Mountain. His cloud The hand is unparalleled in the world, so I took it off." The old corpse's face was swollen with bubbles, and the surface was layered, like an animal's stomach pouch turned out.Lin Ruyi loosened the hook, and Gulu sank, and the continuous beads of foam annihilated, and other faces appeared again. "This old nun was once regarded as a living Bodhisattva by foolish people in central Sichuan, but unfortunately she was not lucky in the end. Who told her to use the vicious sword of extinction—of course, there are quite a few masters with good swordsmanship." , but this is the only one who can wield a sword with his left hand. So she had to contribute her left arm." "In the older generation of the Duan family, there are still some good hands with one yang finger, like the two brothers Duan Weizhi and Duan Yanzhi. Originally, the master took a fancy to Duan Weizhi's right hand with three fingers. But Duan Weizhi happened to be ill that day. Master I was a little hesitant, fearing that the quality of his fingers was not good. I didn’t think it would be unlucky for Duan Yi to bump into him at this time. The master thought that Duan Yi would become famous in the world, so he tried a few tricks at once, and it was true, so he Asked for his finger." That face should be young, but unfortunately it has been soaked for a long time, and it looks not much different from the old man and old lady, and it is no longer the heroic spirit of the past. "There is also monk Zhihuan from Shaolin, the invincible mandarin duck has very good legs." "There is also Jiang Zhenren on the rooftop, who knows a unique way of snapping his fingers. Master likes him to be unique, so he is taken together." Those former martial arts legends are now distraught, huddled together naked, dangling in the turbid wine, endlessly. "Senior Sister," Murong noticed a strange phenomenon, "Why is a piece of skin cut off from every corpse?" Lin Ruyi glanced at Murong's face, but did not answer.After a while Fang said: "Daoist Master Linfeng is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a more scheming mind than ordinary people. When Master asked him to meet him in Wuyou Valley in the name of an old friend, Linfeng guessed that Master had other plans. Hiding, it's time to send his twelve apprentices to the appointment. One of the leaders is the Wudang disciple who drove the master from the overlord's seat and replaced him. Linfeng's proud disciple, the blue is better than the blue. Guess that What was the outcome of the war?" "Master has won." Murong said without hesitation.Otherwise, how could Linfeng's body be here. "You were wrong, they both lost." Lin Ruyi said.
"The new technology developed by Master is to cut off one's own limbs and sew them on to others. With other people's limbs, one can have other people's kung fu. The tool used to complete this kind of suture is the crescent needle. "You don't believe it, do you? Yao Mo discussed the possibility of this matter in detail in his book. Master relied on his supreme wisdom to make it a reality. Linfeng is his last goal , before that, he had killed Miaohui Shenni, Duan Yi and others, collected their limbs, replaced their left hand and both legs,——you saw it in the bottle just now. He already has twelve sects Knowing that Wudang's Master Linfeng is the most difficult one to deal with, he saved it for the last. Unexpectedly, now that he challenges Wudang, he has to face the opponent who defeated him again. Linfeng brought a dozen Wudang disciples, the first , is the miracle of the Wudang School - the 'No. 1 Sword in the World'. "I said before that it was a coincidence that Master would lose to a rising star. During the sword competition in Tiandu Peak, he couldn't deal with that person. Linfeng took advantage of this and caused him to suffer a crushing defeat. But after ten Years of hardships, those things are no longer in his eyes..." Lin Ruyi's voice became colder and colder. "That's right, the former Emperor Xuanyi still had a trace of human friendship in his heart. Even if he didn't care about others, he still cared about my feelings, so he couldn't bear to kill that Wudang disciple. If he couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear it. Now he doesn't care anymore, he doesn't care at all. He has already made great progress in martial arts, and he can kill that young man, so he is about to kill him. Who would have thought that heaven would not obey people's wishes, and at this time he suddenly committed a crime He was sick, his whole body was hot, and he was unconscious, so he dropped his sword and fell to the ground. The young man was also seriously injured, and he was unable to hurt him again, so he had to give up with two blows. "I thought the matter could come to an end temporarily, so I planned to rush out and rescue these two people." "Senior sister is also a good doctor." Murong interjected. "But at this moment, a huge basalt rock rolled down from the top of the mountain and pressed on us. I only had time to snatch Master out. My only younger brother was crushed to powder, and I couldn't even get a bone back. " It turned out that the "No. 1 in the world" of the Wudang School was actually Ruyi's younger brother.Murong was speechless. "Master had a fever and was unconscious all the time. I gave him many decoctions, but it didn't help. On the last night, he finally came back to life. He told me that his research failed in the end, and the reason for the failure was that he Forget one thing, other people's bodies belong to others after all, they are sewn on your body, and you will fight with each other. No matter how good the crescent needle is, once other people's body reacts and conflicts with your own body, you will feel burning desires all over your body. Crack, only to die. "And the last sentence that Master left me, said that the one that can overcome this conflict is the poison tripterygium vine." The dim candlelight made Murong's face pale.He forced a smile and said, "Senior sister, you actually made up a wonderful and bizarre story." The bamboo pole turned back and forth in the wine urn, stirring up the stale air one by one, and Linfeng's bulging old face surfaced again.Lin Ruyi took one of his legs with a bamboo pole and hung it on the rim of the urn. "I soaked the limbs that my master cut off before, preserved them with medicinal wine, and built a shrine for him. As for this old Taoist priest, he was killed by me before he became the new overlord. I only used three crescent needles , I avenged my master and my younger brother." Murong's eyes widened. Lin Feng, a famous figure of the Wudang sect, died at the hands of the little-known Lin Ruyi. "You don't believe it again." Lin Ruyi smiled, and turned Linfeng over with a bamboo pole, revealing the scars. "The first crescent needle was nailed to his lumbar spine. The third crescent needle was stuck in his throat. The most important thing is the second one," she looked into Murong's eyes, "nailed to his right in the elbow socket of the arm." At this moment, the lingering aroma of wine seemed to freeze, Murong's face turned from white to blue, from blue to transparent.He slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing a bright crescent moon in the socket of his elbow. "Now I know who you are..." Lin Ruyi watched gloatingly, Murong stretched out his trembling hands, inserted them into his hair, and tightened them. "Actually," Lin Ruyi said leisurely, "I can't tell who you are, you have my master's martial arts, but you have my younger brother's face." She fingered the young man's face lightly, while sighing: "Do you know how your senior sister's wonderful needlework came about? In order to accurately copy my brother's face, I cut a piece of it." Another piece of human skin. These human skins have become the hair embroidery in my room. I didn’t dare to start until I embroidered all four walls, and I sewed out my lovely brother.” "I'm not!" Murong screamed, "I'm not your brother!" "Of course you are not, and you are not my master." Lin Ruyi said coldly, "A few years ago, I realized that you have nothing but appearances! Or, you are just a martial arts overlord. " Murong fell to the ground slumped, his cheeks were hot and his whole body was trembling. "Senior sister, Lin Ruyi, why, why did you let me come into this world, why did you continue this shameful prank? How much pain do I have to bear!" Snapped! Lin Ruyi snapped off the bamboo pole in her hand.The smoky medicinal wine spilled all over Murong's face. She looked at him fixedly. "Why me? You ask me why! You say you are in pain, why don't you ask me how painful it is? Do you know how you survived? My blood is flowing on your body! "Master's body is cold, and the blood is frozen in the heart. Even if you replace all the limbs, you can't wake him up. It's me, I put my blood into the body, warm him up, and revive him .You can't live without my blood! "That time I ruined myself and almost bled all my blood. But the more terrible thing is yet to come. In order not to let you die like Master, I had to follow Master's advice and give you the Tripterygium vine. But With this poison, your blood is very weak. In the end I have to change your blood once a year, once a year! Don't tell me about your pain, I suffer more than you." She lifted the pale yellow eyes. Long hair, showing an excited twisted face. "Look at what your senior sister has become! These years, I dare not go out, and people dare not see each other. I rely on a little deer blood every day to support my life. If it is not because of supporting your life, I might as well die Forget it!" Murong could no longer hear, it was as if ten thousand soldering irons were rolling around him.It was hot and painful, rolling all over the floor. "Help me, save me... Senior Sister, save me..." Lin Ruyi calmed down, squatted down slowly, and looked curiously at Murong who was sweating profusely. "Senior sister, save me! My whole body is about to burst." Lin Ruyi stretched out her sleeve to wipe his sweat, and suddenly said: "You are right, why should I play a prank?" "No no, Senior Sister," Murong panicked, "Please save me, I still want to live!" There was nothing in Lin Ruyi's big eyes: "You are the only work in my life. Since I was born because of you, how could I let you die. Helpless, I can't save you." Murong was filled with terror, and actually shivered. "Senior sister won't, everyone says you are a miracle doctor." Lin Ruyi smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you think why I told you these old things. I planned to let you be your 'number one in the world' at ease, but you can't bring the secret to the grave Go. I only have one hour to live, don’t I? Now most of my blood has clotted in my body, so I can’t exchange it for you.” "Senior Sister," Murong said with tears, "I was wrong and I misunderstood you. This is the antidote, it is the antidote. Take it quickly." The antidote to fish powder was wrapped in yellow oil paper, and Lin Ruyi twisted it until it rustled. "Don't you want to exchange it with me for the antidote of Tripterygium wisteria? Junior brother, you grew up with Tripterygium vine, and there is nothing you can do about it. If you want to get rid of this medicine, you have to die. This is what I give you. The antidote." She shook off the antidote packet of fish powder and sprinkled the powder into the wine jar. "Senior Sister!" Murong was in despair. "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, maybe it's not." Lin Ruyi stared at the pale corpse floating in the wine urn, "You want me to take the antidote before saving you, but I'm very tired, junior brother, and I don't want to continue. My hard work, I hope you are the continuation of the master, and you have indeed fulfilled his wish and regained the position of overlord. But, after all, you are not him, nor my younger brother. Forget it, it’s good to end up like this.” Her transparent skin gradually became dirty, sinking into patches of bruises. "Senior Sister," Murong's voice suddenly became very weak, "Why on earth are you going so hard to fulfill Master's last wish?" why. In fact, Lin Ruyi couldn't answer herself, and she couldn't answer it for the rest of her life. She just raised her neck: "You don't deserve to know." Murong felt that the skyrocketing fire had already burned himself.The fire rose from the wine urn, and incomplete ghosts danced in the fire, biting and struggling, and the pale and rotten corpses fell like rain.He saw Lin Ruyi's shadow becoming more and more blurred, turning into a black butterfly that was burnt from a coin. The butterfly danced gracefully, shattered, and flew to ashes. 然后他失去了呼吸。
何小桥等到日上三竿，不见慕容回来，心里焦急不已。她发现后院起火了，火舌一点一点舔到了她的房间。 小桥急了，用身子去撞房门。 那扇门已被烧着，一撞就开。院子里已是一片火海。 她的头发已被燎着，没命的冲了出去。忽然脚下被高高的大门槛绊倒，摔倒街边。 就在这时，一块旧牌匾砸了下来，小桥抬头去看。 原来扣在牌匾反面，赫然是三个大字：“髑髅坊”。
Regardless of whether it is true or not, He Xiaoqiao hurried to Silver Street following Xiao Er's instructions.It was dusk, but there was a plaque hanging on the door of the pharmacy, but there was no word on it.She hesitated for a while, but still knocked on the door knocker. The one who came out to open the door was a little servant in black clothes, with eyes hidden behind the veil, he scanned the small bridge once.However, without saying a word, he floated up and led the small bridge into the front hall.The front hall is dark and unclear, with the fragrance of white plums floating.But this fragrance is not so pure, it seems to cover up something.Xiaoqiao's hand unconsciously clasped the hilt of the sword. "Is Doctor Lin at home?" Xiaoqiao asked in a low voice. "Yes." The waiter's voice was not very cold.She turned and opened a huge cabinet, looking for something. Xiaoqiao stood on the ground, not knowing where to put his siblings. "Take off your clothes quickly." Xiaoqiao was stunned, and saw that the waiter was holding a plate of shiny things in his hand. "You suffered from the Wujin saber of Blood Swallow Wang Jingtang. Although the poison on his saber may not kill you immediately, if you don't remove it, it will take a long time, and you will suffer for a lifetime." Xiaoqiao suddenly realized that this thin little girl was the legendary Doctor Lin.
Lin Ruyi gave He Xiaoqiao a dose of antidote, and then asked, "Are you afraid?" Xiaoqiao didn't understand what she was talking about, but she was very relieved in front of this genius doctor, and said, "Don't be afraid!" Lin Ruyi seemed to sneer behind the veil. The wound was not deep.Lin Ruyi pricked a few needles on the spine, and Xiaoqiao found that her shoulder was gradually losing consciousness. Lin Ruyi opened a small blue-and-white porcelain vase with grape twigs, and a strong aroma of wine diffused in the darkness.She moistened a piece of white silk with wine and wiped it around the wound.Change a piece, wipe it again, and slowly change it three times.Xiaoqiao sniffed the aroma of the medicinal wine and felt a little dizzy.She didn't feel any pain, Lin Ruyi quickly cleaned up the wound, and black blood came out. Xiaoqiao watched curiously as his blood flowed out, which turned from black to red in a short while, knowing that the remaining poison on his body had been pulled out, he was secretly happy. scoff An oil lamp was lit, making the small hall even darker.Xiaoqiao saw Lin Ruyi pick up a thin short thread from the plate, and with the other hand holding the orchid finger, it was a crystal needle—if it was a needle.Because Lin Ruyi was clearly sewing the eye of the needle with the light, but the needle was unusual, it was curved, like a crescent moon. Xiaoqiao stared blankly, Lin Ruyi finished the needle, and stabbed steadily at Xiaoqiao's suet-like skin. "what--" Although he didn't feel any pain, Xiaoqiao still let out a cry. However, Lin Ruyi's Crescent Needle has passed through the skin on both sides of the wound briskly, bringing a black line.I don't see how her fingers picked up the black thread twice, and then tied a neat square knot, neither loose nor tight. "If you don't sew your skin shut, the wound will heal." Lin Ruyi said lightly, "After seven days, when the wound is closed, I will remove the thread for you, without leaving any traces." It was sewn up in a blink of an eye, and the three sides were wiped with medicinal wine.Xiaoqiao stared at the black centipede-like centipede on his shoulder, his mind was in a daze, and he said unconsciously, "Senior Sister Ruyi..." Lin Ruyi was already cleaning up her needlework, and she was surprised when she heard this.It turned out that her nickname was only known by her family members. "Who are you?" She held a crescent needle tightly. "I'm Murong's..." Xiaoqiao blushed, and said again, "My name is He Xiaoqiao, and it was Murong who asked me to seek medical attention from my senior sister." "Oh..." Lin Ruyi's voice suddenly became hazy and distant.She slowly removed the black veil. Only then did Xiaoqiao see her face.Ruyi is just very thin, but not as young as she thought.To be exact, there is no age at all.She was bloodless, her face was almost transparent, and she could see the blue veins sliding underneath, and even the white bones were faintly exposed.On the jagged face, a pair of exaggeratedly large eyes, with a bunch of wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, vaguely traced the traces of the beauty of the past. Xiaoqiao suddenly felt sad. "What about Murong himself? It's time to take medicine, why doesn't he come back." In the middle of the night, people are quiet and crows cry. He Xiaoqiao hugged the thin quilt, and chatted with Lin Ruyi casually. In this small back room, the aroma of white plums is even more bleak.Xiaoqiao already understood that the lingering smell in Lin Ruyi's house was the smell of wine.The senior sister sews skins for others, and I don't know how much medicinal wine has been stored!However, even if it is medicinal wine, there are some other flavors mixed in, what is it? In the distance, Lin Ruyi was sitting under a small oil lamp with a crescent needle on her finger.She was embroidering a dress, which she said was a leather coat for Murong.Senior sister is working hard.Xiaoqiao looked at her thin and dark figure, which was not much more real than a shadow on the wall.All kinds of embroidered works hang on the surrounding walls, landscapes, pavilions, flowers, birds, fish and insects, which look lifelike under the dim lights.The senior sister's needlework is also extraordinary.Xiaoqiao admires Ruyi more and more.It's just that these embroideries are all black and white, and the fabric is also very yellow.strangeness! While looking at the painting, he told Lin Ruyi about Murong's brilliant achievements.How to defeat the masters of the Thirty-Six Sects in the Sword Trial Villa and become the number one sword in the world.Murong is only twenty-six years old this year, his appearance brightened the eyes of the Central Plains martial arts that had been depressed for more than ten years. What is even more powerful is Murong's martial arts, which penetrates all schools and schools.Xiaoqiao was born in a famous family in Hanyang, so she has a lot of knowledge, and she has some wonderful tricks, even she can't explain them clearly.Seeing her high spirits, Lin Ruyi didn't interrupt her.When she finished speaking, Fang helped her complete everything. "Senior Sister, you are amazing. It's as if you saw it with your own eyes!" Xiaoqiao exclaimed. Lin Ruyi smiled lightly.When she smiled, a red tide would flash across her face, as if blood was about to gush out, which was shocking. "That's right. Murong, you watched him grow up, right?" Xiaoqiao said to himself, "Of course you know his three moves and two styles." Is it more than clear?Ruyi said: "Do you know why I call him Murong? Because he possesses the superb martial arts of thirteen famous schools in the world, and no one can match him. In the Song Dynasty, there was a family of Murong who could return the same way to others. It is said that Because they know all the martial arts in the world. When Murong was born, I thought he was like this too. So, I called him Murong." In front of Xiaoqiao, Murong Yushu's face floated in front of the wind, and he said unconsciously: "And the young masters of the Murong family in the legend are also young masters Pian Pianjia. Sister, you said that Murong is invincible in the world, is it true? He can really Will it always be number one in the world?" Ruyi didn't answer, and twisted the bright crescent needle. "Senior Sister, you just said you were taking medicine." Xiaoqiao thought about it, and became worried again. "How come I've never heard of him. He, is he sick?" Ruyi said: "He is in poor health and needs to take medicine once a year. He—" She glanced at Xiaoqiao thoughtfully, "So I didn't tell you." No way?Murong is always so energetic, is he in poor health?Xiaoqiao didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to ask.Suddenly remembered something, said: "Indeed - when I broke up with him, he said he had a little fever." "Already have a fever?" Lin Ruyi shuddered, and the flying needle stopped, and said immediately, "If you don't come back, you will be in trouble." "What?" Xiaoqiao said guiltily. "It's getting late, go to sleep!" Ruyi's voice became stiff.
When he woke up, Lin Ruyi was not in the room.Xiaoqiao got up and looked curiously at the clothes Ruyi sewed for Murong.If you don't look at it, you will almost faint. That leather jacket, tough and smoky, exuded a strange smell of alcohol. It was originally cut from a whole piece of human skin, washed and peeled clean.And those mandarin ducks and lotus flowers embroidered on the crescent needle are clearly human hair. Xiaoqiao threw the leather jacket on the ground and fled back.Unexpectedly, when he bumped his head against the wall, it was soft.Opening his eyes, he saw that it was a piece of Lin Ruyi's embroidery.The sunlight came in through the window sills, making the room look so bright for the first time.The hair embroidery on the exquisitely cut human skin is black and white, and it is also very vivid and clear. Xiaoqiao groaned and rushed to the door.The door was locked from the outside.She gritted her teeth and bumped, only to realize that she had no strength at all.Pulling back the sleeves, she saw that there were crescent needles nailed to the joints, preventing her from moving any strength.Xiaoqiao bit the noses of the needles with his teeth, and then he understood why Lin Ruyi's needles were in this shape.It was impossible to pull it out, and the slightest twitch would cause excruciating pain. "Senior Sister, Senior Sister!" She rushed to the door and hissed loudly. "Don't yell, I don't want to do anything to you." Ruyi's voice came through the crack of the window. "It's just that Murong cares about you very much, doesn't he?" Does Murong care about her?have no idea.There was a void in Xiaoqiao's heart. Ruyi continued: "Murong refused to come back to eat Tripterygium vine because of you. Do you know that he was raised by Tripterygium vine, and he would die if he didn't eat it. But I will never let him die. Detain you, He'll be back to see me. I hope he's quick." Tripterygium, what is that?Xiaoqiao searched in his chaotic mind.It seems that I heard an experienced Jianghu sister say in private before that it is a kind of "extinct" medicine.Thinking of this, Xiaoqiao blushed.Lin Ru unexpectedly appeared weak and weak, she never thought that she would be so vicious towards her junior brother. Murong, Murong, do I expect you to come, or do I expect you not to come. The crisp yellow window paper turns white and black, black and white again. He Xiaoqiao didn't count the days.How long will it take to be locked in a room filled with a strange smell of alcohol, and the walls are clearly covered with dead skin.Lin Ruyi's cooking skills are good, and the daily side dishes are exquisite and delicious, never repeating the same.But Xiaoqiao couldn't eat it.There is a lady with a round fan in imitation of Tang Dynasty hanging beside her bed.The fluttering fairy sleeves are the flowery smile of the dead, the plaited white teeth are the pale hair of the dead, and Dankou's cherry lips are the dark red blood of the dead. It was the slender hand attached to the crescent needle that cooked for her, and she could eat it!In fact, she hadn't been locked up for a few days, but she had already collapsed.I always thought that I have been walking the rivers and lakes with Murong for several years, and I can endure hardships.Unexpectedly, in her bones, she was still the pampered young lady of the He family in Hanyang. The ivory moonlight shines on those magnificent embroidery.Lin Ruyi turned out to be not a human being.
click.The window panes rattled. Xiaoqiao burst into tears.Murong is here. That young and heroic knight-errant was clearly in front of his eyes. "I know all about it, so I came to see you first." Murong stroked her hair, "I'll go find Senior Sister right now." "But," Xiaoqiao murmured, "she gave you medicine..." The expression on Murong's face froze for a moment.As we get along day by day, Xiaoqiao knows Murong well.Tripterygium vine, he had already known it.Xiaoqiao suddenly had a strange idea in his heart. He knew it clearly, but never told me. "Xiaoqiao, my senior sister, she has been lonely all her life, except for her master who died early, and me, she has no friends or relatives." Murong's voice seemed a little difficult, and he couldn't express his words.Anyone who talks about such a problem will inevitably fail to express his meaning. "I guess she wants to keep me forever, so, so..." Xiaoqiao glanced at Murong resentfully, seeing that his face was also flushed.A few days ago, he developed a low-grade fever, which has not subsided. Murong gritted his teeth, and said resolutely: "But Xiaoqiao, because of you, I decided not to be controlled by her anymore. What kind of Tripterygium vine, all, go to hell! I'll ask my senior sister to get it. Antidote." Xiaoqiao's eyes were burning: "Will she give it to you? Lin Ruyi is not a simple person." The corner of Murong's mouth twitched: "I have my own way."
Bailian Mountain outside Qingshui Town has always been a place where deer come and go.But in the past few years, the mountain people can hardly see the sika deer jumping in the mountains and forests.It is said that when someone entered the mountain at night, he saw a bone spirit flying over the cliff, and trapped deer one by one.Although it is nonsense, everyone just listens to it. Murong is very clear.He pressed his waist, and the small paper bag was still there. There is an ancestral hall behind the house, and the rafters are rotten over time.Murong knew that although Lin Ruyi had a bedroom, she never slept in it.This ancestral hall, which is covered with white curtains all year round, is her real shelter, and it is always filled with the unspeakable aroma of wine. Lin Ruyi leaned at the foot of the candlestick, sleeping deeply.Murong stared at her face, blue blood was slowly beating under the glazed skin.In a black silver bowl on the table, the agate-like deer blood is about to congeal.Murong hesitated for a while, then took out the small paper bag, shook the white fish powder onto the deer blood like salt, and gradually melted.This kind of medicine can make people's blood coagulate within an hour, but if it is sprinkled on the coagulated deer blood, it won't be noticeable - as long as the senior sister doesn't care.He begged for this packet of fish essence powder from the medicine demon Shen Bin.Being the number one sword in the world is not necessarily flattering to everyone.The price of fish essence powder is Xiaoxiang Shenjian's life, and the matter is handled so smoothly that even Xiaoqiao doesn't know about it. Ruyi's eyelids seemed to twitch, and Murong was startled. Her breath is still calm. It was almost dawn, and I wondered if Xiaoqiao was anxiously waiting, so I had to teach her to wait.Murong lit a stick of incense and silently knelt before the spirit of his master.
He seemed to be awakened by the chill of the crescent needle, and the muscles on his back twitched violently. "Don't move, tie you carefully." Senior sister's voice was still so gentle. She is sewing clothes for him.Yesterday he jumped over the courtyard wall to find He Xiaoqiao, but the juniper branch broke his back.Like so many times before, Lin Ruyi sewed his clothes with her needles.Murong saw that Ruyi's sparse, long hair that fell to the ground slid over her shoulders, yellow and yellow, fluttering in front of her eyes.His heart moved, he looked back at his senior sister, only to see that the bright red glaring deer blood on her lips had not been wiped off. His complexion became even more frightening, with a gloomy air, but the corner of his mouth was still smiling. Murong didn't dare to look at her closely, and when she had pulled off the thread, he turned around and said, "Senior Sister..." "Wait, Junior Brother, today is the 21st anniversary of Master's death. I'm glad you came back. Let's pay homage to Master first, and then gossip." Lin Ruyi said calmly. Today is Master's death day?Murong never knew.He only knew that this day was the day he came back every year to take Tripterygium wilfordii.And this year, he will ask his senior sister for an antidote.Lin Ruyi inserted the crescent needle into her sleeve, brought out fruit incense candles, and laid them out one by one. Paper money with stars burning in the brazier. Murong had no choice but to kneel down again. That wooden niche contains the body of Master, right?The white curtain dangled.In fact, Murong had never seen Master's face.When his memory began, the master had already died.It was Master's eldest disciple Lin Ruyi who took care of him and spent the first years of his life in this small pharmacy.It stands to reason that he should call Ruyi his master.But Ruyi only asked him to be called Senior Sister. Is there a reason?She didn't say anything, or said vaguely, because she didn't teach his martial arts.So who taught it? He didn't know that all his memories of before he was an adult were blank.All I know is that from the very beginning, he possessed the best physical skills in the world, one yang finger, shadowless legs, Lingbo microsteps, cloud hands... miraculously proficient in all of them.He thought that everyone didn't know his past, but when he walked into the rivers and lakes, he realized that it is a very painful thing to be a river without a source and a tree without its roots.Fortunately, he has excellent martial arts skills.Now he has finally achieved the overlord, and there is Xiaoqiao. But Senior Sister, a pale and weak woman, controlled his "past" and everything about him.He suspected that she had some ulterior secret, she had brainwashed him.Taking advantage of today's opportunity, he must go back to his past. "Senior Sister..." "I haven't told you the story of Master." Lin Ruyi interrupted him again, as if she had read his mind, and sneered slightly, "Now that you have become number one in the world, and you are promising, I should tell you. " Murong pricked up his ears. Lin Ruyi didn't say anything, she was just in a daze.After a long time, Fang sighed to himself: "What is the best sword in the world, there is no hero at that time, making Zhuzi famous!" "Our master Lin Zui is a well-known good doctor in Qingshui Town. You may have heard it from the neighbors. However, this is only his identity in the last ten years of his life. Before that, as Emperor Xuanyi, he once Unified the martial arts of the Central Plains and dominated for more than ten years." Emperor Xuanyi, is he his master?Murong couldn't help but get excited.That was the bloodiest one among the legendary heroes of the previous era.In the bleak martial arts nowadays, people still talk about his legends.As soon as Murong came out of the rivers and lakes, he heard a lot.His astonishment is admirable, and his failure and retirement is more like an insoluble mystery.It is said that in the final battle of Tiandu Peak, Xuanyi Tiandi finally lost to a martial arts rookie, and had to give up his position and leave quietly.No one has seen him since then. Less than ten years after the Emperor of Heaven abdicated, the thirteen sects under his protection all suffered disasters.The number one expert in each sect, like Wudang's senior Linfeng Daoist, Tiejianmen's master Miaohui Shenni, Yongxin Gang's elder Hong Douer, Duan's young master Yi... one after another, inexplicably He disappeared, and his disciples searched everywhere, but to no avail.At first everyone was talking about it, but now it has been more than 20 years, most of these people are dead. It's just that after this catastrophe, the vitality of the martial arts in the Central Plains was severely damaged, and it no longer regained the glorious atmosphere of the era of the Emperor of Heaven. "You may not have imagined that all those people died at the hands of Master." Lin Ruyi said lightly. Murong was startled, but immediately understood: "The winner is the king who loses the bandit. When the Emperor of Heaven was in the position, everyone flattered him. Once he was defeated by a newcomer and stepped back, he would be defeated by the former followers as quickly as possible. The Heavenly Emperor has seen through the fickleness of the world, so he wants to take revenge. Although the Xuanyi Heavenly Emperor missed in Tiandu Peak for a while, it is no problem to deal with these Xiao Xiao." "Junior brother, you didn't practice in the rivers and lakes for nothing!" Lin Ruyi nodded and said, "But you are only half right. For this alone, the master will not kill them, but will lock them in the cellar and slow down." Slow torment, but still have to flatter the horse like before, and try harder to please the master. However, since the medicine demon Shen Bin gave the master a medical book, the master changed his mind." Hearing the name Shen Bin, Murong's heart trembled. "Master did a lot of research on medicine in his early years. He found a technique mentioned in Yaomo's book. Through this technique, even a person with no foundation can quickly master a superb martial art. Master learned from the Overlord's He was not reconciled to stepping back from his seat. He thought about making a comeback every day. As soon as he saw it, he immediately started to study this technology." "What kind of technology is that?" Murong asked impatiently. The draft came in, and the curtain fluttered.The chaotic smell of alcohol in the ancestral hall was suddenly stirred up. "Junior Brother, do you want to see Master's remains?" Murong didn't answer. Lin Ruyi pulled down the curtain on the niche. It was just a half-person-high crystal bottle, a pile of bits and pieces of bones and red meat, soaked in a yellowish liquid.A piece of arm, a finger, and a piece of thigh, it seems that a lot of thought was spent when they were cut off at the beginning, but they were soaked here in a mess later.Murong watched for a long time, only to realize that the head and body were missing. "This is..." Although Murong was not afraid, seeing such a "Master", after all, he felt a little sick to his stomach, "Legacy?" "The remains are here." Lin Ruyi pulled him to the back of the crystal bottle, and he saw a human face tightly attached to the wall of the bottle, like a piece of moss.His face was stretched and twisted, and his expression was very funny. "Senior Sister..." Murong didn't know what to say. "If you want to see the whole thing, come with me." Lin Ruyi smiled and pushed the crystal bottle away, revealing a black wooden cover under the bottle, and a narrow passage stretched obliquely under the cover. There really is a cellar here!
The air in the cellar is fine, but the smell of wine gets stronger the further you go down.Murong could already clearly tell that what the aroma of the wine couldn't cover was the rotten smell of dead corpses, which came down from his throat and smoldered in his chest. After a while, the source of the smell appeared.A huge wine urn, not deep, but very wide, more like a pool.There are some figures in the pool sinking and floating. Lin Ruyi picked up a Zhang Zhang bamboo pole and slowly moved it in the wine urn. "Of course, these are still missing arms and legs. Like this one," she pulled an old corpse with a hunched back in front of her, "the right arm is missing. This is the Taoist Master Linfeng of Wudang Mountain. His cloud The hand is unparalleled in the world, so I took it off." The old corpse's face was swollen with bubbles, and the surface was layered, like an animal's stomach pouch turned out.Lin Ruyi loosened the hook, and Gulu sank, and the continuous beads of foam annihilated, and other faces appeared again. "This old nun was once regarded as a living Bodhisattva by foolish people in central Sichuan, but unfortunately she was not lucky in the end. Who told her to use the vicious sword of extinction—of course, there are quite a few masters with good swordsmanship." , but this is the only one who can wield a sword with his left hand. So she had to contribute her left arm." "In the older generation of the Duan family, there are still some good hands with one yang finger, like the two brothers Duan Weizhi and Duan Yanzhi. Originally, the master took a fancy to Duan Weizhi's right hand with three fingers. But Duan Weizhi happened to be ill that day. Master I was a little hesitant, fearing that the quality of his fingers was not good. I didn’t think it would be unlucky for Duan Yi to bump into him at this time. The master thought that Duan Yi would become famous in the world, so he tried a few tricks at once, and it was true, so he Asked for his finger." That face should be young, but unfortunately it has been soaked for a long time, and it looks not much different from the old man and old lady, and it is no longer the heroic spirit of the past. "There is also monk Zhihuan from Shaolin, the invincible mandarin duck has very good legs." "There is also Jiang Zhenren on the rooftop, who knows a unique way of snapping his fingers. Master likes him to be unique, so he is taken together." Those former martial arts legends are now distraught, huddled together naked, dangling in the turbid wine, endlessly. "Senior Sister," Murong noticed a strange phenomenon, "Why is a piece of skin cut off from every corpse?" Lin Ruyi glanced at Murong's face, but did not answer.After a while Fang said: "Daoist Master Linfeng is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a more scheming mind than ordinary people. When Master asked him to meet him in Wuyou Valley in the name of an old friend, Linfeng guessed that Master had other plans. Hiding, it's time to send his twelve apprentices to the appointment. One of the leaders is the Wudang disciple who drove the master from the overlord's seat and replaced him. Linfeng's proud disciple, the blue is better than the blue. Guess that What was the outcome of the war?" "Master has won." Murong said without hesitation.Otherwise, how could Linfeng's body be here. "You were wrong, they both lost." Lin Ruyi said.
"The new technology developed by Master is to cut off one's own limbs and sew them on to others. With other people's limbs, one can have other people's kung fu. The tool used to complete this kind of suture is the crescent needle. "You don't believe it, do you? Yao Mo discussed the possibility of this matter in detail in his book. Master relied on his supreme wisdom to make it a reality. Linfeng is his last goal , before that, he had killed Miaohui Shenni, Duan Yi and others, collected their limbs, replaced their left hand and both legs,——you saw it in the bottle just now. He already has twelve sects Knowing that Wudang's Master Linfeng is the most difficult one to deal with, he saved it for the last. Unexpectedly, now that he challenges Wudang, he has to face the opponent who defeated him again. Linfeng brought a dozen Wudang disciples, the first , is the miracle of the Wudang School - the 'No. 1 Sword in the World'. "I said before that it was a coincidence that Master would lose to a rising star. During the sword competition in Tiandu Peak, he couldn't deal with that person. Linfeng took advantage of this and caused him to suffer a crushing defeat. But after ten Years of hardships, those things are no longer in his eyes..." Lin Ruyi's voice became colder and colder. "That's right, the former Emperor Xuanyi still had a trace of human friendship in his heart. Even if he didn't care about others, he still cared about my feelings, so he couldn't bear to kill that Wudang disciple. If he couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear it. Now he doesn't care anymore, he doesn't care at all. He has already made great progress in martial arts, and he can kill that young man, so he is about to kill him. Who would have thought that heaven would not obey people's wishes, and at this time he suddenly committed a crime He was sick, his whole body was hot, and he was unconscious, so he dropped his sword and fell to the ground. The young man was also seriously injured, and he was unable to hurt him again, so he had to give up with two blows. "I thought the matter could come to an end temporarily, so I planned to rush out and rescue these two people." "Senior sister is also a good doctor." Murong interjected. "But at this moment, a huge basalt rock rolled down from the top of the mountain and pressed on us. I only had time to snatch Master out. My only younger brother was crushed to powder, and I couldn't even get a bone back. " It turned out that the "No. 1 in the world" of the Wudang School was actually Ruyi's younger brother.Murong was speechless. "Master had a fever and was unconscious all the time. I gave him many decoctions, but it didn't help. On the last night, he finally came back to life. He told me that his research failed in the end, and the reason for the failure was that he Forget one thing, other people's bodies belong to others after all, they are sewn on your body, and you will fight with each other. No matter how good the crescent needle is, once other people's body reacts and conflicts with your own body, you will feel burning desires all over your body. Crack, only to die. "And the last sentence that Master left me, said that the one that can overcome this conflict is the poison tripterygium vine." The dim candlelight made Murong's face pale.He forced a smile and said, "Senior sister, you actually made up a wonderful and bizarre story." The bamboo pole turned back and forth in the wine urn, stirring up the stale air one by one, and Linfeng's bulging old face surfaced again.Lin Ruyi took one of his legs with a bamboo pole and hung it on the rim of the urn. "I soaked the limbs that my master cut off before, preserved them with medicinal wine, and built a shrine for him. As for this old Taoist priest, he was killed by me before he became the new overlord. I only used three crescent needles , I avenged my master and my younger brother." Murong's eyes widened. Lin Feng, a famous figure of the Wudang sect, died at the hands of the little-known Lin Ruyi. "You don't believe it again." Lin Ruyi smiled, and turned Linfeng over with a bamboo pole, revealing the scars. "The first crescent needle was nailed to his lumbar spine. The third crescent needle was stuck in his throat. The most important thing is the second one," she looked into Murong's eyes, "nailed to his right in the elbow socket of the arm." At this moment, the lingering aroma of wine seemed to freeze, Murong's face turned from white to blue, from blue to transparent.He slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing a bright crescent moon in the socket of his elbow. "Now I know who you are..." Lin Ruyi watched gloatingly, Murong stretched out his trembling hands, inserted them into his hair, and tightened them. "Actually," Lin Ruyi said leisurely, "I can't tell who you are, you have my master's martial arts, but you have my younger brother's face." She fingered the young man's face lightly, while sighing: "Do you know how your senior sister's wonderful needlework came about? In order to accurately copy my brother's face, I cut a piece of it." Another piece of human skin. These human skins have become the hair embroidery in my room. I didn’t dare to start until I embroidered all four walls, and I sewed out my lovely brother.” "I'm not!" Murong screamed, "I'm not your brother!" "Of course you are not, and you are not my master." Lin Ruyi said coldly, "A few years ago, I realized that you have nothing but appearances! Or, you are just a martial arts overlord. " Murong fell to the ground slumped, his cheeks were hot and his whole body was trembling. "Senior sister, Lin Ruyi, why, why did you let me come into this world, why did you continue this shameful prank? How much pain do I have to bear!" Snapped! Lin Ruyi snapped off the bamboo pole in her hand.The smoky medicinal wine spilled all over Murong's face. She looked at him fixedly. "Why me? You ask me why! You say you are in pain, why don't you ask me how painful it is? Do you know how you survived? My blood is flowing on your body! "Master's body is cold, and the blood is frozen in the heart. Even if you replace all the limbs, you can't wake him up. It's me, I put my blood into the body, warm him up, and revive him .You can't live without my blood! "That time I ruined myself and almost bled all my blood. But the more terrible thing is yet to come. In order not to let you die like Master, I had to follow Master's advice and give you the Tripterygium vine. But With this poison, your blood is very weak. In the end I have to change your blood once a year, once a year! Don't tell me about your pain, I suffer more than you." She lifted the pale yellow eyes. Long hair, showing an excited twisted face. "Look at what your senior sister has become! These years, I dare not go out, and people dare not see each other. I rely on a little deer blood every day to support my life. If it is not because of supporting your life, I might as well die Forget it!" Murong could no longer hear, it was as if ten thousand soldering irons were rolling around him.It was hot and painful, rolling all over the floor. "Help me, save me... Senior Sister, save me..." Lin Ruyi calmed down, squatted down slowly, and looked curiously at Murong who was sweating profusely. "Senior sister, save me! My whole body is about to burst." Lin Ruyi stretched out her sleeve to wipe his sweat, and suddenly said: "You are right, why should I play a prank?" "No no, Senior Sister," Murong panicked, "Please save me, I still want to live!" There was nothing in Lin Ruyi's big eyes: "You are the only work in my life. Since I was born because of you, how could I let you die. Helpless, I can't save you." Murong was filled with terror, and actually shivered. "Senior sister won't, everyone says you are a miracle doctor." Lin Ruyi smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you think why I told you these old things. I planned to let you be your 'number one in the world' at ease, but you can't bring the secret to the grave Go. I only have one hour to live, don’t I? Now most of my blood has clotted in my body, so I can’t exchange it for you.” "Senior Sister," Murong said with tears, "I was wrong and I misunderstood you. This is the antidote, it is the antidote. Take it quickly." The antidote to fish powder was wrapped in yellow oil paper, and Lin Ruyi twisted it until it rustled. "Don't you want to exchange it with me for the antidote of Tripterygium wisteria? Junior brother, you grew up with Tripterygium vine, and there is nothing you can do about it. If you want to get rid of this medicine, you have to die. This is what I give you. The antidote." She shook off the antidote packet of fish powder and sprinkled the powder into the wine jar. "Senior Sister!" Murong was in despair. "Maybe it's a misunderstanding, maybe it's not." Lin Ruyi stared at the pale corpse floating in the wine urn, "You want me to take the antidote before saving you, but I'm very tired, junior brother, and I don't want to continue. My hard work, I hope you are the continuation of the master, and you have indeed fulfilled his wish and regained the position of overlord. But, after all, you are not him, nor my younger brother. Forget it, it’s good to end up like this.” Her transparent skin gradually became dirty, sinking into patches of bruises. "Senior Sister," Murong's voice suddenly became very weak, "Why on earth are you going so hard to fulfill Master's last wish?" why. In fact, Lin Ruyi couldn't answer herself, and she couldn't answer it for the rest of her life. She just raised her neck: "You don't deserve to know." Murong felt that the skyrocketing fire had already burned himself.The fire rose from the wine urn, and incomplete ghosts danced in the fire, biting and struggling, and the pale and rotten corpses fell like rain.He saw Lin Ruyi's shadow becoming more and more blurred, turning into a black butterfly that was burnt from a coin. The butterfly danced gracefully, shattered, and flew to ashes. 然后他失去了呼吸。
